I found my first error! Extra "L" on edge of Washington dollar

I was looking through a roll of the new presidential dollars that my Dad brought home from the bank and I found this. 
If you look between the U and the S in Pluribus you can see another "L". (Sorry about the picture. I guess my hand was shaking. 
)
I emailed a picture to CONECA already and they said it was an error so I guess it is. Anyway, it's my first and it's pretty exciting!

And is it raised or incused, and is it normal or mirror?

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
<< <i>Is that an L or an I?
And is it raised or incused, and is it normal or mirror? >>
Seeing it in hand, it is a true "L", incused and faint.
Here's one that looks like a "U" that is not incused.
And here is the "M"that again, is not incused.

It looks like a "L" not a "I" or a scratch, or a dent. It is incuse but not as deep as the normal letters.

<< <i>I think there will be a whole bunch of new errors with the lettered edge- I think this is the only exciting thing with these new coins. I wonder how the slabbers will accommodate these errrors in new slabs so you can see the error? >>
They may turn out to be so common that no one wants to bother with the error designation.
I think only the most spectacular, specific types of edge errors will continue to carry a significant premium. Edge errors are starting to look common as dirt. They're cool to find, but as far as worth, I doubt they'll carry too much in the general case.
<< <i>I am waiting for the first discovery of completely doubled edge lettering, that will be a nice error. >>
One has already been discovered. Pictures have been posted but I don't know if it was here or ATS. If I see it again I'll try and let you know where it is or post a link.

Hmm... Strange.

<< <i>Cool. I have seen what appears to be an upside down W or M in a worn raised lettering on some of these and am real curious if they at some point tried to have a raised letter in the edge and then ground them off for the incused lettering.

I posted my attempt at explaining this here. I don't know if it's correct or not, but I can't come up with any other explanations.

I am still waiting for the discovery of a non-error washie; anybody found one of those yet
